    'Countdown' for Aled?

    Carol Vorderman and Des O'Connor have both just announced that they are quitting 'Countdown', Carol after 26 years!

     Rory Bremner is the favourite to take over from Des but evidently both Aled and Gyles Brandreth are also being considered.  It appears that Aled has appeared on the programme in Dictionary Corner although I've never seen him on it.

    Would certainly be a new departure for him and would take up even more of his time with a resulting reduction in time available for concerts.

    My personal view is that Aled has a wonderful singing voice & enjoy seeing him in concerts. I agree with Peggy that Im sure it would take up alot of his time since its on daily monday-friday. He could have more time with the family if he cuts the concerts down though.

    Im sure we will find out in due course

    I've just heard Aled on GMS and he said he woke up to loads of texts and e-mails about Countdown.  All news to him he says.!!!!  Seems the popular press have been at it again.

     Having said that I think he would be excellent but I don't think it would fit in with his already hectic schedule.

    Countdown is a definite NO according to Aled. Just after the 8am news on GMS this morning, he declared that he isn't doing the show and any more claims that he is will have him screaming hehe !Wink

    Whatever happened to that " quiz" for which Aled did a pilot show ?

     There a number of new quiz type shows on BBC ; I wondered if it was one of those . They seem to all have Jimmy Carr at the helm  Surprise

    I wondered about that too. Maybe the pilot wasn't popular enough to make a series.
